427. the 427th chapter ten thousand arrows(1/2)
When Gongsun Yan heard this, he was so angry that his eyes widened, and he said to himself: "This is what you Sima said incorrectly that you made meritorious. I have returned to Jiaoyang City to rest. Where can I have a chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious?"
Gongsun Yan was dissatisfied with Sima Cuo's general order, so he looked at Feng Liang and Xing Meng with his eyes, signaling them to continue to make suggestions to Sima Cuo.
Xing Meng argued in a rough voice: "We still have the strength to do so and want to continue charging. Please give General Sima a chance and don't let us go back to Jiaoyang City to rest."
Sima Cuo hummed heavily, his eyes filled with anger, and he said, "I have decided, are you going to disobey?"
When Xing Meng and others saw Sima Cuo's dark face, they did not dare to say anything more. They quickly cleaned up and led the remaining soldiers back to Jiaoyang City.
Sima Cuo forced Gongsun Yan to retreat to Jiaoyang City. Looking at Gongsun Yan's shameless back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said to himself: "Let you Gongsun Yan be arrogant again, and it finally fell into my hands today.
Haha, how can the defeated general be brave?”
However, Sima Cuo heard from them that Ning Jun had arrived at the Mianchi frontline and personally directed the Korean army to fight, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
He and Ning Jun were familiar with each other when they were in the Qin army and knew that this person was brave and resourceful, capable of fighting, and was extremely difficult to deal with. He also heard that in the battle of Anyi, Ning Jun was nicknamed "General Lei Gong" and ordered Qin to
The generals and soldiers of the country were afraid when they heard the news.
Sima was careful when he was beaten, and he decided to make steady progress and advance in an orderly manner, so that Ning Jun would not take advantage of the Qin army's rash advance without any loopholes in the formation.
Sima Cuo organized the Qin army into a cluster of three thousand people. The clusters were distributed in square shapes, with cavalry in front, infantry following closely, and crossbow archers behind. Each cluster was fully equipped with each army, so a cluster was
It is a fighting group that will not easily disintegrate even if it is ambushed by the Korean army.
After Sima Cuo completed the formation, he ordered the entire army to advance towards the mountain pass. He did not expect that his troubles would give the Korean army led by Ning Jun outside the mountain pass a precious respite, so that they could set up the formation calmly.
Act according to the plan.
Although the Korean army made careful arrangements, many people were still shocked when they saw the Qin army's neat formation coming overwhelmingly. Xu Mu, who was beside Ning Jun, couldn't help but yell, with an extremely nervous expression.
I am afraid that Ning Jun's bluffing plan will not work.
Ning Jun was even more worried that Han Jun's whereabouts were discovered by Sima Cuo. He heard the sound from Xu Mu's mouth and was very dissatisfied. He glared at him fiercely and signaled him to remain silent. Xu Mu glanced at the anger on Ning Jun's face.
, swallowed the saliva that was so nervous that he secreted, and did not dare to speak more.
Fortunately, because the Qin army was still far away, Xu Mu's movement did not alarm the Qin army.
Sima Cuo's five clusters passed the mountain pass first, and then did not move forward quickly, but stopped on the spot for a while. Sima Cuo was cautious and he had to make sure that there was no ambush from the Korean army in front before he dared to advance with confidence.
Sima missed the mountain pass and looked around. He saw that there were no barriers outside the surrounding hills. What was strange was that there was no trace of the Korean army in front of him. The entire position was so quiet that birds shaking their wings and flew past.
The sound of the sky can be heard.
"How could the Korean army disappear without a trace? What mystery are they showing off?" Sima Cuo held the short beard on his chin with his hands, his heart full of doubts.
Now the Qin army has left the mountain pass. If it does not advance forward, it will be unreasonable, which makes the soldiers of the three armies feel timid. Therefore, Sima Chuo thought about it and thought it through, and decided to move forward tentatively.
No wonder Sima Cuo was worried: Gongsun Yan suffered a defeat, so how could he not learn from his lesson? Besides, Ning Jun's appearance on the battlefield means that South Korea has reinforcements from other princes. What is the background of the other party? Sima Cuo has nothing at this moment
Know.
Sima Cuo pointed the flag in front of his hand and ordered more than ten clusters of the Qin army to move forward as a whole. He specifically asked the messengers to inform each cluster: "Each cluster unit must keep a distance of less than ten feet, and dare to be reckless and vain.
Those who advance will definitely be killed and will not forgive me.”
After the Qin army received the order from the chief general, they took action again. Although the pace was slower, their steps were very firm. The neat steps of the military formation made the surrounding earth tremble slightly.
Sima Cuo's main Qin army had walked more than a mile, but there was still no movement ahead, so everyone couldn't help but relax. The soldiers felt that there was no ambush formation prepared here.
The pace under their feet began to accelerate a little, and they walked forward about a mile. At this time, the five clusters of the vanguard had entered the range of the Korean crossbow archers arranged by Ning Jun.
According to the advance deployment, Zhou Shao suddenly stood up from the dug temporary trench and ordered loudly: "All crossbow archers, follow my orders and shoot at the Qin army!"
With Zhou Shao's order, suddenly, a large number of soldiers holding strong bows and crossbows rose up behind the trench. They arranged in three clusters and stepped forward one after another, facing the five or six Qin army's crossbow arrow formation.
The cluster of troops shot like a tsunami.
The Qin army did not expect that they would suddenly be attacked by Korean crossbows on the road!
All battle formations are cavalry in front, infantry followed the cavalry, and crossbow archers were behind, waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack. The formation set up by Ning Jun was a total of crossbow archers. There were neither cavalry assault nor infantry protection in front.
They were completely exposed to the Qin army. The advantage of this is that the crossbow archers can let go of their hands and shoot arrows without any scruples.
The Korean army's arrow rain was quite dense, and the advance troops in front of the Qin army suffered many casualties. Sima Cuo saw the arrow rain covering the sky and covering the sun, and he was shocked and inexplicably surprised.
In order to avoid vain losses, Sima Cuo pointed the flag backward and shouted: "The army temporarily avoids the enemy's edge and evacuate backward!"
The Qin army cluster in front heard Sima Cuo's order, so they stepped back and retreated one after another. They soon left the range of the Korean army, and the positions ahead were scattered and dead soldiers in the Qin army.
While the Qin army retreated, Sima Cuo also closely monitored the movements of the surrounding Korean army. He was worried that the Korean army would take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on his side. However, strangely, the Korean army had neither pursued nor concealed killing, and everything was
Regained peace.
Sima Cuo was still in shock. After half an hour, his heart was still beating. The Qin army fell into silence again, as if nothing had happened.
The Qin soldiers were puzzled at this time and thought to themselves: "What kind of strange formation is this? Why is it so weird?"
The soldiers all looked at their chief Sima Cuo and waited for him to come and make an idea.
Sima Cuo touched his beard with his hands, his brows frowned, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of what the other party was selling in the gourd. Sima Cuo thought to himself: "My Qin army is invincible, and you will never let this rain of arrows be
Let's go back."
He was unwilling to let his subordinates poke the backbone and scold the general for being incompetent and fearing death. Sima Cuo also understood that the more than 50,000 Qin troops under his command were waiting for his decision.
Sima was not very clear about it, so he made a fuss and pointed the flag in front of the order, and issued an order at the same time: "All soldiers obey the orders, and the army continues to move forward. If the other party shoots arrows, we will also organize crossbow archers to counterattack on the spot."
Under the command of the chief general, the mighty Qin army moved again and moved forward one by one.
The Korean army was also orderly. Just now, a rain of arrows shot the Qin army back. Zhou Shao waved his hand and ordered the Korean army's crossbow archers: "Stop shooting arrows, hide in place, no one is allowed to move around, no one is allowed to come out.
Voice."
Zhou Shao and his soldiers were also nervously watching the Qin army's next action. When Zhou Shao saw the Qin army pounce on him again, he jumped out of the trench just like the previous time and ordered his crossbow archers to look at the
The Qin army shot bravely.
This time, the Qin army did not retreat with timidly. They set up a formation on the spot and organized a certain counterattack in the dense rain of arrows from the Korean army. The Qin army's crossbow archers also bent their bows and arrows, set up crossbow machines, and looked at the Han Dynasty.
The military positions fought back.
As a result, some of the soldiers in the Korean army were shot by the Qin army's crossbows and fell on the position. The two armies suffered casualties in front of each other. However, after all, the Korean army was well prepared and the crossbows were numerous and powerful. The Qin was killed and injured.
The number of soldiers is more than two or three times more casualties than their own.
The two sides shot at each other and fell into a stalemate. Sima censored to look at the soldiers who were falling down in front of him, heartbroken. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and decided to risk a greater sacrifice to let the cavalry and infantry attack forward to break the Korean army.
crossbow arrow position.
Sima censored the order to attack, and the Qin army quickly assembled three clusters, nearly 10,000 assault teams risked their lives to rush forward, but the assault troops were also blocked by the Korean army's shooting, with great casualties.
However, just when the Qin army was feeling a headache, the Korean army actually stopped shooting. They retreated out of the trench in an orderly manner and quickly moved towards the rear.
It turned out that Zhou Shao saw that there were not many crossbow arrows left, so he simply and neatly implemented Ning Jun's prior order and issued an order to retreat to the Korean army. Since this was also a repeated warning before the war, the Korean army had
The organization retreated without any panic.
The Qin army's assault troops occupied the Korean army's positions and found that there was no one except the three or four hundred Korean soldiers who were killed in the Qin army's crossbow arrows, and even one injured person could not be seen.
Sima Cuo also realized that the Korean army had taken the initiative to stop the attack, and he followed the assault troops. Sima Cuo looked at the position of the Korean crossbow archers who had previously scared him, and his doubts were deeper.
He looked at the direction of the retreat of the Korean army, pondered for a long time, and Zhou Shi, the deputy general who was close to Sima Cuo, whispered: "Dare you ask the commander, do we want to pursue the Korean army?"
Sima was unable to answer for a moment and hesitated.
The Korean crossbow archers led by Zhou Shao seemed to have retreated intentionally. He clearly saw the calmness from the other party's retreat order. Sima cried out: Did the other party set up a trap and wait for the Qin army to pursue it, and then be like Gongsun.
Yan fell into the other party's ambush circle like that. When Gongsun Yan heard this, he was so angry that his eyes widened, and he said to himself: "This is what you Sima said about making meritorious contributions. I have returned to Jiaoyang City to rest. Where can I have a chance?
Go and kill the enemy and make meritorious service?"
Gongsun Yan was dissatisfied with Sima Cuo's general order, so he looked at Feng Liang and Xing Meng with his eyes, signaling them to continue to make suggestions to Sima Cuo.
Xing Meng argued in a rough voice: "We still have the strength to do so and want to continue charging. Please give General Sima a chance and don't let us go back to Jiaoyang City to rest."
